THIS is why you buy an SP404-MK2 (Resampling walkthrough)

Incredible walkthrough! Thank you for some guidance

very nice bro

hola buenas tardes exelente domingo estes pasando oye una pregunta yo tengo mi mk2 y entiendo tu punto pero entonces en el mk2 no se pueden hacer pistas completas osea que te tienes que ayudar de otro sampler o de una estacion de produccion musical y el mk2 es solo un complemento mas de tu home studio es lo que quiers decir????

Thank you for showing me! It's great to refine the workflow for a novice like me.

nice video dude, great walkthrough! Just picked up my 404 this week and your videos have been a fantastic help!

impossible to get these sonics with a modern mpc

nice :)

Now you’re talking my language !!!!

They should add the 404a mfx21 to the mk2.

Did you see the comment I left about how I preferred resample over the sequencer on one of your other videos?

Yeah i always preferred chopping loops and layering drums with resample. the pattern sequencer just feels too restrained for me. i like stacking sounds on the pads, and you can always just split the drums on one pad and the loops on another so you can drop the drums out whenever you want. pattern mode is cool but you can do a live set much more easily just transitioning between pads.

Let's be clear. Resample is NOT the same as skipback.

superb.

Magic thanx Master

You are 100% on the money.

How is a low pass filter adding texture? 😅

Nice video man!

Great video. My philosophy nowadays with the pattern sequencer is as follows: don't use it to try and sequence full songs. Instead use it as part of the resampling workflow. E.g. I will use the sequencer to make a hi-hat line or a bassline, and then resample to a pad and add FX etc. Then export to use in a DAW or another machine.

In a nutshell, I'm using the MK2 as a sampler first and foremost, and all the nice extras assist me with that approach

Great stuff. Incidentally, do you think there's any loss/degradation as you resample? I tried resampling 16 times and I couldn;t; hear the diff between 1 and 16 - I'm thinking it must be all done in the digital realm, so no unwanted loss of fidelity.

Whats up brother. First up, you're my go to for anything sp related and your videos have been invaluable in my learning phase. Wondering if anyone here has had the issue or user error that ive run into. When attempting to record a pattern of 8 or 16 bars it ends up recording double but all the looped samples im having recorded stop looping on the second round of unintentional recording? Wondering whats up!? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated 👍 thanks all

MORE resampling vids and techniques please. Maybe a live finger drumming / sample play /chromatic mode use , in a live non sequencer resampling method ?

I’m so glad you still put videos up, the main reason I am comfortable with the mk2 is because of tutorials like this

You should make a lil ugly mane type beat and tutorial might be too specific of a request. Or just like Memphis horrorcore rap in general

I always end it with cassette sim into 303 vinyl sim. 👍

dope walkthrough 🙏 I’ve been trying to get a good daw + sp workflow for a while now.
would you normally make the beat in your daw, mix it, import it onto your sp and do the fx and resampling, send it back into your daw and master it?

genius!

Great video. I have two questions. How do you assign effects to just one individual pad. Is there a way to save that setting after you record it ?.

Hello. Do you ever use the sp404mkii to sequence synths or as part of a dawless set up?

Shoutout my guy spvids!!! Killing it like always!

WAY too many timing issues when resampling. when the mk2 resamples it ignores the metronome accuracy. try testing for yourself by resampling a beat from the sequencer and then dropping that loop onto the first beat. you SHOULD have both the sequence AND the resampled loop playing in unison but they absolutely are NOT in time not even close. I edited the start point by around 2000 samples to get it close and to know exactly how terrible this device is. its main strength its its ability to resample you say?? NO - and then you need to adjust start points again?? Ive been sitting on this device for 8 months waiting for the next update , if it aint fixed then I ditching the sp. so much potential but its absolutely riddled with issue. like count in for resampling does not even keep time - the count in metronome and the sequencer metronome are separate so theres a stutter when the sequence triggers...

Thanks you for the easy listening tutorial. Haven't got one yet, need these videos to convince me.

What I really love to do with the SP is sweep effects and filter settings while resampling, it’s a nice way to add movement to your beats.

Quick question: recently I found myself laying out a beat on the sp, so doing all of the sampling / resampling and beat building, and then recording back into ableton track by track by track, seems a bit backwards and long-winded but it allows me to EQ individual tracks and use side chain.

Do you ever work like that?

I can’t find the function for resampling or bouncing a pattern to audio by one up to four clicks. I saw it in a video bot lost it, the pro was that it was super easy to use and fast, without listening to the whole pattern. Can somebody help?

Why no one talks about converting pattern chains into the samples in 4.04 ? doesn't this feature seem useful for anybody except me? finally we can finish beats keepeng standalone or dawless workflow AND without wierd lifehacks! it's seems more useful than trivial looper function that everyone is going crazy about

who needs a vintage sampler when this nails the sound so well. I think I need this in my life!

Are you resampling the pattern to a pad first once you're happy with the mix and then adding mfx using resample? So for example, i would resample each pattern individually and then resample the mfx on to those? Do they resample as patterns or are they now samples that would have to be sequenced again?

I'm just trying to understand the workflow and resample has me incredibly confused for some reason. 😅 Trying to wrap my head around how a full beat would be put together after resampling.

I like using this technique with the isolater to boost the lows, but after the new 4.04 update i get really bad unwanted distortion after i resample. I tried looking through the settings but i can't think of anything that would fix it. So for now I'm just lowering them volume of the pad that i want to sample. Do you have any suggestions?

This video helped me to understand how resample works ❤

Excellent tips as always brother. Thanks 🙏

A balance of 98-2 means 98% dry, 2% wet, right? I'm surprised 2% is even detectable by the listener.
